Comcast SportsNet has installed a Solid State Logic C100 digital broadcast console to handle the 5.1 surround mixes of its sports events.

The company owns the cable rights and is the production entity for all of the local telecasts for the Philadelphia 76ers, Philadelphia Flyers and Philadelphia Phillies.

The SSL C100 is the audio hub for the two Philadelphia stadium locations, The Wachovia Center basketball/hockey arena and Citizens Bank Park, the new major league baseball stadium. The console generates Dolby E 5.1 surround, stereo and mono mixes for production and distribution.

The FAA’s current rules and proposed ban on flight over people, requirement of visual line of sight and restriction on nighttime flying, effectively prohibit broadcasters from using UAS for newsgathering. ~ WMUR-TV General Manager Jeff Bartlett
